VRAM is not latency optimized. VRAM has worse latency than your CPU RAM. The reason why it's mounted closer is because of signal integrity because of higher frequencies, not because of latency.
- eurekin 3y agoInteresting. Where can I read more about that?
- redox99 3y agoSorry can't provide any resources right now. If you search a bit I'm sure you'll find some latency comparisons between DDR and GDDR. But basically GPU memory (GDDR5/6/6X/etc) is optimized for bandwidth (because GPUs need to move a lot of data, have few branches, few unknown data dependencies, high spatial locality). CPU memory is more optimized for latency (because of branchy code).
